Chapter 2157 Mortis Murder Case (Part )

2158. The Mortis Murder Case (Part )

In this cathedral, Tang Xiao was too lazy to pay any attention to the surroundings that were as usual without any furniture, just some room-shaped places. He went straight to the point and said to his son: "Okay, son, what do you want me to do?"

Here he said 'erze', not 'son'... Ever since Tang Xiao was beaten up by his son, he has been adhering to the spiritual victory method of "I can't beat you with my hands, but I can't lose with my words", and he takes advantage of you with words whenever he has the chance.

One of the official languages ​​of the Principality of Dawn, my son naturally knows it. I have to say that Taiyi's memory and learning ability are really super strong. But my son obviously can't understand the meaning of this simple pronunciation change.

He felt that there was something wrong with Tang Xiao's tone, but he couldn't tell why, so he just snorted and said, "I need you to help me get something."

"What is it?" Tang Xiao asked.

"A dagger," said the son.

"Dagger?" Tang Xiao certainly knew what he was talking about, but he still had to ask. The asymmetry of information was his only advantage over these god-like powerful Tai people.

"Yes, this is the only dagger that can hurt us." The son said in a bewitching tone, "This dagger is placed on an altar that neither my daughter nor I can touch. I have already determined that you will be my most outstanding and most excellent servant, so I will give this honor to you."

Tang Xiao was flattered and seemed a little panicked, "A dagger that can hurt you? No! I can't take this thing! This is totally treasonous!"

The son laughed. He was very satisfied with Tang Xiao's reaction. "I think you are qualified to hold this... Dagger of Mortis. You asked me before what I could give you. I haven't decided on the specifics yet, but first of all, I can give you this honor. Putting this dagger that can stab me in your hands, doesn't it also demonstrate your status?"

He approached Tang Xiao and said with a cold smile: "Think about it, this is a weapon that can hurt us. No one has ever done this in hundreds of thousands of years since we were born. If you are loyal to me, then this dagger will be the proof of your status. As long as the dagger exists, you will always have a status second only to me! In the entire galaxy, you only need to listen to my orders."

"So, what do you want me to do with this dagger?" Tang Xiao made a determined look and said through gritted teeth.

"Kill...father." The son's smile turned ferocious.

Tang Xiao was horrified and at a loss, "Kill 'father'?! No! This is impossible! He is 'father'! He possesses extremely powerful strength, and even if I hold the Mortis dagger, there is no way I can get close to him!"

The son grinned and said, "Don't worry, the old man is already too weak, and his strength is no match for mine! Moreover, he will definitely call you over, and he wants to find out your origins. But to be honest, I have no interest in this thing, and your origins are not important. I allow you to keep your own secrets, I am different from that stubborn old man!"

He went on to say, "And I will help you shield all your intentions. The old man will definitely not be able to detect any abnormality from you. All you need to do is to kill him with this dagger when he gets close to you!"

Tang Xiao was still hesitant, "But he is my 'father'...will it be okay if I kill him...?"

"Of course not." The son persuaded, "If you kill him, he will just return to his original force. But Mortis's imprisonment will be released, and then, you and I can leave here. This is also the only way for you to leave. You should have heard from your daughter that it was your father who wanted to imprison you. He will never let you leave before he has squeezed out all your secrets."

To be honest, if Tang Xiao didn't know the plot, Taiyiren and Mortis, his son's words were almost perfect, and it would be difficult for him to find any reason to refuse. Because almost every word his son said was true, except for one thing - he couldn't possibly want to kill his "father", let alone do so.

Because 'father' is the source of their power, if 'father' dies, their power will be lost.

As for what the 'father' said before, that he was weakening and about to die, Tang Xiao thought that it was more likely that he had fallen into a deep sleep, thus causing his son and daughter to lose the last check and balance.

So when his son insisted that Tang Xiao kill his "father", Tang Xiao understood that this guy had always treated him as a tool to be discarded after use.

In fact, Tang Xiao still had some fantasies about cooperating with his son. Because his son was indeed very powerful, and the technology of the Midpoint Station was indeed a terrifying existence that was enough to dominate the Milky Way. Tang Xiao planned to get some benefits from his son no matter how bad it was, so it was not impossible for him to pay something in exchange for this.

Because in the original plot, the son planned to subdue Anakin Skywalker to become his subordinate, and he almost succeeded.

Therefore, Tang Xiao judged that his son's ideal of dominating the Milky Way was not the kind of domination that required killing everyone. At least, he still needed some subordinates and lackeys.

But now, his son asked him to kill his "father", and this instruction actually directly exposed his evil intentions!

It is impossible for the son to kill his father, and it is impossible for him to do so. Since his father cannot die, the only one who can die is him, Tang Xiao.

The son would almost certainly do something the moment Tang Xiao did it, leaving his "father" injured but not dead. But his father's counterattack would undoubtedly kill Tang Xiao, and even if his father didn't do it, his son would definitely kill Tang Xiao.

In this case, Tang Xiao died and his father was injured. His daughter would definitely stay to take care of his father, and the injured father would certainly not be able to maintain Mortis's confinement.

Then, the son can escape from Mortis without worrying about his father and daughter getting in the way. He can roam freely in the galaxy and use his powerful strength and forbidden knowledge to build a dark empire!

After understanding this, Tang Xiao also understood what he should do.

He nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, son. Since I said I would help you, I will definitely do it! Take me to the dagger, I will get the dagger, and then seize the opportunity to kill 'father'!"

He made a heavy chopping motion.

The son nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good... follow me. Now both father and daughter need some time to recover. No one will stop me from taking you to the altar."
